Summer Fun: Watermelon Shaped Ice Cream
My son reminded me of this fun ice cream treat that I would serve in the summer, sherbet and ice cream assembled in the shape of a watermelon. Lime sherbet forms the outer rind, raspberry sherbet and mini chocolate chips are combined to resemble the watermelon and seeds. Slice into this treat just as you would a watermelon, and serve up some fun!

To create the watermelon rind, spoon lime sherbet in the bottom and up the sides of a 2-quart bowl, pressing with the back of a spoon to form a smooth even layer. Freeze for 20 minutes or until firm. Spread vanilla ice cream over lime sherbet layer, smoothing with back of spoon to cover completely. Return to freezer; freeze 20 minutes or until firm.To create watermelon and seeds, combine raspberry sherbet and chocolate chips in large bowl; mix well.
